Mumbai: Amazon MX Player, Amazon’s free streaming platform, ups the ante with its latest fitness reality sensation — Battleground. This adrenaline-pumping show combines brutal physical trials, psychological warfare, and strategic gameplay, offering viewers a raw and unfiltered experience. Set in the intense ‘Battleground house’, participants face grueling challenges that test their strength, spirit, and mental endurance.

Front and center of this dynamic show is cricket legend Shikhar Dhawan, stepping into the role of Super Mentor. Known for his calm demeanor and on-field resilience, Dhawan brings his personal philosophy of discipline, manifestation, and team trust to the forefront, guiding contestants through their most challenging moments.

Reflecting on his new role, Dhawan shared,

“Cricket taught me resilience—how to push forward even when the odds aren’t in your favor. It built my belief in positive leadership, staying composed under stress, and trusting the process.”

He also drew parallels between the pressure-filled cricket arena and the emotional battleground contestants now face:

“Talent isn’t everything. Without the right mindset, you won’t last. Some of these contestants have that spark, that raw confidence. Now I want to see if they can turn that attitude into action.”

Leading the four teams are fan-favorite celebrities: Asim Riaz, Rajat Dalal, Rubina Dilaik and Abhishek Malhan. With fierce rivalries, surprise twists, and emotional breakthroughs, Battleground promises a powerful mix of entertainment and inspiration.

Catch all the action on Battleground, streaming now for free only on Amazon MX Player — available via its mobile app, Prime Video app, Fire TV, and Connected TVs.
